Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-4641:
-------------------------------------------
IMO, num_tokens should act like initial_token: respected on startup, ignored
otherwise. (This lets us make num_tokens: 256 be the default for new installs,
while not touching upgraders [even if they deploy the new cassandra.yaml] until
they explicitly ask for it.)
> Make upgrade to vnodes only happen on new installs

> We should make vnodes be the default for new installs, however, just enabling
> the 'num_tokens' parameter for upgrading is too flimsy. Instead, we should
> have a jmx/nodetool operation to do the upgrading.
